Stop the "Thank you for your service" litany of bullshit. You think that word is more vulgar than war? There
is no glory in war. No war should be praised. War is the vulgar obscenity of the human species who are willing to be controlled by the elites.

I saw this Thank you
for your service phrase after trying to confirm to no avail a source used
in Susan Lee Schwartz's comment on a Daily Kos article, "Trump Breaks Faith: Executive order
drops protection for families of deployed military".

The article starts by saying, "The Trump administration's
draconian and hastily drafted immigration orders rescind a key protection for
military families so that now even military spouses and children can be rounded
up and deported."

So I followed what I thought was the link, and after reading all thirteen pages I
searched to find any reference to military service. Nada.

But I did find this in the Kos article:

"Non-citizens do extremely well in the military." And this:

"The importance of providing for these men and women, and
their families has been explicitly supported by Republican and Democratic
administrations for obvious reasons of national security.

"Even the rabid Republicans in Congress during the Obama
administration supported the continuation and expansion of this program."

And the following broke my camel's back: "As of Monday,
February 20, 2017, any so-called conservative who applauds Trump's actions
while applauding the service of active duty military is a hypocrite."

And therein is a mountain-sized kernel of truth. Way back in the Roman Empire, there was a
saying, ad laudem et gloriam belli -- To praise the glory of war. The Romans
loved war, conquering other lands, taking their bounty and bringing it home
followed by a requirement of tribute, a form of rigorish or rent by another
word I suppose.
